Текст и перевод песни Bap - Happy End

Happy End

Et eezte Mohl, dat ich em Kino woor,
Weiss nit, en welchem Johr, weiss nur noch wo.
Mann, woor ich do nervös! Mann woor dat Kino jross!
Ich gläuv, die Klappsitz woore ruud bespannt,
Ich benn nit sicher, doch ich jläuv met Samt.
Vüürhang met Stääne drop, 't düster'n hä jing op.
Et wood janz leis em Saal, ne Kulturfilm leef ahn, dann Wocheschau.
'T flooch en Kamra durch't All, un en Stemm hätt verzällt, wat wo loss wohr.
Un en Cinemaskop kohm donoh Deck un Doof,
Indianer un Cowsboys, kohm Hollywood.
'T wood jelaach, mitjeföhlt un dozweschejegröhlt,
Stars un Stääncher bestaunt, uns jing et joot.
Zelluloid-Paradies, en der Paus joov et Ihss
Un wenn't tragisch wood Träne... wood metjeflennt.
Doch ein Saach, die woor kloor,
'T kohm nix andres en Frooch:
Janz ahm Schluß - wat och sons? - e Happy End.
Ahm Chlodwigplatz, wo unser Kino woor
Ess längs ne Supermaat un ich un do
Jonn ahn Rejale lang, stonn en dä Kasseschlang.
Da, wo die Sonderahnjebote stonn,
Do hinge Fotos: Robin Hood, King-Kong,
Ich wei0 noch janz jenau, eimohl'n Bikinifrau.
Kohm en dä Film nit rinn, moht mer sechzehn für sinn...
Dä leef och spät.
Doch dat Bild hätt jereisch, ich schleef wochelang schlääch...
Do woor doch jet!?
Un en Cinemaskop joov et hück Deck un Doof,
Indianer un Cowboys un Hollywood.
'T wood jelaach, mitjeföhlt un dozweschejegröhlt,
Stars un Stääncher bestaunt, uns jing et joot.
Zelluloid-Paradies, en der Paus joov et Ihss
Un wenn't tragisch wood Träne... wood metjeflennt.
Doch ein Saach, die woor kloor,
'T kohm nix andres en Frooch:
Janz ahm Schluß - wat och sons? - e Happy End.

Happy End

First time I went to the cinema,
Don't know which year, just remember where.
Man, I was so nervous! The cinema was so big!
I believe the seats were upholstered in red,
I'm not sure, but I believe in velvet.
Curtain with stars on, the lights went down.
The hall became very quiet, a culture film started, then newsreel.
A camera flew through space, and a voice told what was happening.
And a Cinemascope came after that, *Deck* and *Doof*,
Indians and Cowboys, *Hollywood* came.
We laughed, empathized and cheered in between,
Admired stars and starlets, we were happy.
Celluloid paradise, in the break there was ice cream,
And when it was tragic... we cried.
But one thing was clear,
There was no other question:
At the very end - what else? - a Happy End.
At Chlodwigplatz, where our cinema was
Has long been a supermarket and I and you
Are waiting in the checkout line without regalia.
Where the special offers are,
There hang pictures: Robin Hood, King Kong,
I still remember very well, once a bikini girl.
I didn't get into the movie, I had to be sixteen...
It was running late.
But the picture was enough, I slept badly for weeks...
There was something!
And in Cinemascope there were *Deck* and *Doof*,
Indians and Cowboys and *Hollywood*.
We laughed, empathized and cheered in between,
Admired stars and starlets, we were happy.
Celluloid paradise, in the break there was ice cream,
And when it was tragic... we cried.
But one thing was clear,
There was no other question:
At the very end - what else? - a Happy End.
